Abstract

Organ transplant recipients carry a greater risk for developing de novo malignancies. Recurrent or de novo malignancies are the second leading causes of late death in liver transplant recipients, following infectious complications. A high incidence of posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disease, skin carcinomas, Kaposi's sarcoma, and uterine cervical dysplasia has been reported after solid organ transplantations. A 46-year-old female had undergone cadaveric orthotopic liver transplantation for chronic hepatitis B-induced liver cirrhosis. During a routine gynaecological examination 19 months posttransplantation, she received a Pap smear which was positive for a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, and then she underwent colposcopic cervical biopsy which was positive for squamous cell carcinoma. Subsequently, a radical hysterectomy (Wertheim's procedure) was performed by the gynaecological oncology clinic. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen showed the uterus to be positive for large-cell keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. The disease stage was IIIb. Thereafter, she underwent adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin, and received external-beam radiation to the pelvis and intracavitary brachytherapy to the vaginal cuff. The patient was then evaluated at every 3 months, with gynaecological examinations in terms of the response to treatment, and a complete pathological response was achieved. The whole-body positron emission tomography was conducted with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose, and there was no increased uptake at any site. The patient was all doing well at 33 months posttransplantation and 14 months after radical gynaecological surgery. Female patients with liver transplantation need continuous surveillance for cervical cancer with annual screening Pap smears and pelvic exam. In high-risk liver transplant recipients for developing gynaecological malignancies (those with prior malignancy or predisposing underlying disease), aggressive surveillance including colposcopy should be employed.

Özet

Organ nakli alıcıları, primer (de novo) malignensi gelişimi açısından yüksek risk taşımaktadır. Karaciğer nakli yapılan alıcılarda, yineleyen ya da primer (de novo) malignensiler, enfeksiyöz komplikasyonlardan sonra geç dönemde görülen ölümlerin ikinci sıradaki nedenidir. Solid organ nakilleri sonrası yüksek insidansta lenfoproliferatif hastalık, cilt kanserleri, Kaposi sarkomu ve servikal displazi gibi malignansi durumlarının geliştiği bildirilmiştir. Kronik hepatit B virüs enfeksiyonuna bağlı karaciğer sirozu tanısıyla kadaverik ortotopik karaciğer nakli yapılan 46 yaşındaki kadın hastamıza, organ naklinden 19 ay sonraki rutin jinekolojik muayenesi sırasında alınan Pap-smear testinde şiddetli servikal displazi saptanması ve serviksten alınan kolposkopik biyopsi sonucunun skuamöz hücreli karsinom olarak rapor edilmesi üzerine, jinekolojik onkoloji kliniği tarafından radikal histerektomi ameliyatı (Wertheim prosedürü) yapıldı. Radikal histerektomi materyalinin histopatolojik incelemesinde, büyük hücreli keratinize tipte skuamöz hücreli serviks karsinomu olduğu bildirildi. Hastalık evresi IIIb idi. Bunun üzerine, hastamıza, adjuvan tedavi olarak sisplatin ile kemoterapi başlandı ve pelvise eksternal radyoterapi ile vajinal intrakaviter brakiterapi uygulandı. Hastamız, tedaviye alınan yanıt açısından tedavi sonrasında her 3 ayda bir tekrarlanan jinekolojik muayene ile değerlendirildi ve tam yanıt elde edildiği görüldü. Hastamızın tüm vücut 18F-fluorodeoksiglukoz pozitron emisyon tomografisinde herhangi bir patolojik tutuluma rastlanmadı. Karaciğer nakli sonrası 33'üncü ayını ve radikal jinekolojik cerrahi sonrası 14'üncü ayını tamamlayan hastamızın herhangi bir yakınması bulunmamaktadır. Karaciğer nakli uygulanan kadın hastaların, serviks kanseri açısından yıllık Pap-smear testi ve pelvik muayene ile taranması gerekmektedir. Jinekolojik malignite gelişimi açısından yüksek risk taşıyan karaciğer alıcılarına (özgeçmişinde kanser öyküsü olanlar veya altta malignansiye yatkınlık gösteren bir hastalığı olanlar), kolposkopi dahil olmak üzere çok yakın takip uygulanmalıdır.
